Sustaining is Living
Brandi Parker, the Founder and Brand-Level Sustainability Consultant of Parker Brands, broke from twenty plus years in the agency world, not just to focus on good sustainable brand work, but to put family as first priority. This balance is fuel for her world-class problem-solving and dot-connecting. Opting to collaborate with diverse teams, she believes that a sustainably designed future must be multidisciplinary, humane and optimistic.
Sustaining is Doing
Parker brings holistic experience and expertise to helping and creating brands. This sustainability expertise in brands and consumer packaged goods extends to printing, structure & manufacturing, materials, sourcing, marketing, strategy, messaging across business verticals and sectors.
Sustainability is Sharing
Standing on a growing public platform, she speaks about the future of sustainability in design and how culture, human behavior and technology all must feed into solutions. She’s spoken on podcasts: AIGA Design Adjacent, Packaging Unboxd and Sustainable Packaging with Cory Connors; webinars like Beauty Independent and Material Connexion’s Materials Matter with Dr Andrew Dent; and at some of the industry's biggest conferences: The Dieline, HOW, Advertising Week and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (member since 2019). Further bridging design and sustainability, she’s participated in design juries for renown competitions like the Clio Awards, D&AD, Dieline Awards, Sappi Ideas that Matter and the Metsä Better with Less Design Challenge.
By understanding changing culture, continuing to innovate across systems, and joining this with the power of design, we can help change people’s behavior and encourage more sustainable actions and choices, while holding producers responsible for what they put into our hands.
